Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Looking at the judge, seeing that the judge didn't seem to have anything to say, Yuan Shao said a little tiredly: "Okay, you go down and send an order to notify all the troops to prepare tonight and withdraw the troops tomorrow morning. In addition..."

After a pause, Yuan Shao half-closed his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Also, beware of Li Yi Xizuo and other generals in the army. If there is anything unusual, report it to me immediately!"

The judge's face changed suddenly, he didn't expect that Yuan Shao was not only guarding against Li Yi, but also wary of his own people.

He really wanted to say that Yuan Shao was worrying too much, and his colleagues around him were all loyal, but he just swallowed the words after thinking about it for a while,

When Yuan Shao gained power, everyone was indeed loyal, but now, who can guarantee it?

In the end, the trial match just surrendered and slowly retreated.

After the trial match left, Yuan Shao looked at the empty tent and felt a strong sense of exhaustion in his heart. Li Yi's strength made him powerless. However, what Yuan Shao didn't know was that the real situation was actually far worse than what he knew. Oops……

While making arrangements for Li Jue and others, Li Yi's own troops were naturally not idle.

On the west front, Li Yi ordered Xu Huang to lead 12 Jingzhou elites to the north and stationed in Dongjun. With Puyang as the center, they were arranged along the line of Baima and Xiancheng.

On the middle road, Li Yi ordered soldiers from Yuzhou and Yanzhou to rush to Dong'e, and join Huang Zhong who had been deployed there long ago. With Huang Zhong as the main general, he set up a company battalion from Dong'e to Cangting in the west, with a force of [-] In the early days, it was slightly less than the western front, and not as elite as Jingzhou soldiers, but Li Yi personally led the guard battalion to sit in Dong'e. Compared with the western front soldiers, their morale was higher.

On the east front, Li Yi asked Zhang Liao to lead troops into Linyi. In addition to Xuzhou soldiers, Zhang Liao's troops would also be followed by Yangzhou soldiers. The total force was comparable to that of Xu Huang on the West Road.

However, because he had to wait for the troops from Yangzhou, Zhang Liao temporarily stayed in Gai County, where Langya and Mount Tai intersected, and did not rush directly to the front line.

Finally, it was Qingzhou. Li Yi didn't seem to intend to let Qingzhou participate in this battle. On the grounds that Qingzhou was initially settled and people's hearts were unstable, Chen Deng only let Qingzhou's local soldiers and horses focus on defense, which was far less aggressive than Yanzhou's side.

But even so, Li Yi's handwriting this time was enough to shock the world.

The number of troops directly participating in the battle exceeded 35. Including Changan Li Jue and others, the total strength of Li Yi's side has already approached 40!

If Zhang Yan, Gongsun Zan, and Qingzhou's secret arrangements are added, the final figure will definitely make [-]% of Hebei's generals despair.

The number of battles of this scale is rare in history, and the number of civilian husbands supplied along the way is more than one million. It is conceivable that the movements of the people are all shocked by Li Yi's generosity. Although they knew that Li Yi was powerful in the past, they had limited knowledge after all. Only now did they really see Li Yi's energy.

Therefore, since Li Yi used soldiers, the noble families from all over the world kept themselves safe and happy with the common people. Bandits and bandits scrambled to hide like deep mountains. Also began to become responsible.

All of this came from Li Yi's shock!

In fact, the Central Plains is fine. After all, under Li Yi's rule, only a very small number of people are depressed, and more people are happy because of Li Yi's strength, but on the other side of the Yellow River, the situation can only be described as gloomy.

It is said that Zhang He, who was stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River, had been sleepless for several days when he saw Li Yi increasing his troops day by day. In less than half a month, he had grown a lot of gray hair.

Jushou was originally supposed to guard Yecheng, but when he found out that the situation was far worse than what he had first seen, he didn't wait for Yuan Shao's reply, and went to Dongping Mausoleum to reinforce Yecheng with all his troops.

Jushou's move saved Yuan Shao's life. Although Li Yi's hundreds of thousands of troops were not yet in place at that time, they could not defend with Zhang Xi's troops. If Jushou's reaction was two days later, Li Yi would order Xu Huang to Try to open up the situation from Puyang, but once this opening is opened, the army behind will cross the river one after another, and Yuan Shao's situation will inevitably take a turn for the worse.

It's a pity that Li Yi overestimated Zhang He's strength and underestimated Ju Shou's reaction, missing such an excellent opportunity.

When these situations were presented to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was leading the pioneers through Yishui, and he broke out in a cold sweat and almost fell off the horse.

Although Jushou's timely response saved Hebei from disaster, the latest report of Li Yi's strength really made Yuan Shao despair.

That's an army of 40, he doesn't even have 10 now, how can he fight?

In desperation, Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and rowed the troops who had originally supported Yuan Tan to Dongjun to assist Zhang Yun in defending the other side.

At the same time, Yuan Shao also ordered that the entire territory of Jizhou be recruited, not just ordinary young and strong, but also ordered the aristocratic families in Jizhou to send young and strong servants at home to fight for him.

Insert an app that perfectly reproduces the old version of Chasing Book Artifact, which can change the source--Chasing Book Artifact.

Not to mention how many soldiers and horses this decree has added to Yuan Shao, but for the people of Jizhou, especially the people whose autumn harvest was affected, it is simply worse.

Moreover, at this time, the news of Li Yi's Northern Expedition had completely spread, and the rumors were even more exaggerated than the facts, saying that Li Yi had more than a million troops.

For a while, the people of Jingzhou panicked, and many people even turned around and fled to Youzhou regardless of their family property, hoping to avoid this doomed tragic war.

Soon, at the beginning of October, Yuan Shao pulled out a force of more than 3 troops in Yecheng through various soft and hard means, and began to go south. Counting his previous transfers from other places, The soldiers and horses on the north bank of the Yellow River will soon approach 13.

Among them, Qingzhou, that is, Yuan Tan in the plain, has [-] troops in command, and [-] troops are deployed along the river along the Jizhou River. Yuan Shao himself will exchange [-] main force elites, and set up a Hebei camp on the opposite bank of Dong'e, and fight with Li Yi. confrontation.

It was not easy for Yuan Shao to make such a response in such a short period of time. However, facing Li Yi, it was still not enough.

Li Jue and Ma Teng had already marched into Shangdang, and Hanoi Zhangyang almost devoted all of his troops to save their lives.

Xu Huang and Huang Zhong marched together, and nearly 25 soldiers were on the other side, staring at each other.

Count Zhang Liao behind, Chen Dengweiyan from Qingzhou...

With so many advantages, Li Yi felt that if he was invincible, he must be blind.

Chapter 759 Guo Tu Crossing the River

"What's going on in Qingzhou?"

Beside the pier in Dong'e, Li Yi stood on the bank of the river and looked up. Because the river is wide and the distance is far away, he can only vaguely distinguish the size of the camp on the opposite side, the exact number of soldiers and horses, and the flags. Judging from the news and the fact that the camp on the opposite side suddenly doubled in size, Li Yi knew that Yuan Shao had already arrived on the opposite side of him.

Yuan Shao's arrival was within his expectation, because Li Yi made a high-profile appearance in Dong'e, most of which was to attract Yuan Shao himself and the main force of Jizhou soldiers and horses under his command.

However, what Li Yi cares most about now is not Yuan Shao.

"My lord, according to the news sent by Governor Chen this morning, General Wei is dumping Qingzhou's stockpiles to the opposite side under the pretext of 'the war is about to start, and there may be unexpected events'. The other side was very alert at first, but it was safe several times. There was no abnormality in the delivery, and General Wei gave an extra [-]% of the profit. The businessman on the other side was moved by the profit, and secretly bribed Chun Yuqiong with a lot of money. If the opponent relaxes a little bit, the plan can be carried out!"

It was Xun You who spoke and answered, not Kuai Yue, the military adviser. In order to ensure that this battle was safe, Li Yi transferred Kuai Yue to Xu Huang on the western front. After the war started, he assisted Xu Huang in his actions. Therefore, Li Yi The chief staff officer around him fell on Xun You for the time being.

However, Xun You's task is not heavy. This time the army was launched suddenly, but Li Yi started to arrange it half a year ago, and he also deduced it countless times on the sand table.

Li Yi nodded and warned: "Let them continue to be cautious. Although our side has the advantage, we must not underestimate the enemy. In addition? Remind Zhang Liao that he must cooperate properly with Wei Yan? Otherwise, even if Wei Yan succeeds? At first, he was just a lone army ? If he can't support in time? Even if he doesn't fall short in the end? Wei Yan's troops will inevitably suffer heavy casualties!"

"My lord, don't worry, General Zhang has already issued a military order? Use your wealth and life as a guarantee? Within half a day when Wei Yan crosses the river, there will be [-] elite followers."

Xun You couldn't help but smile a little when he spoke. Before launching the army, he was worried that Li Yi would be overwhelmed because of his great advantage? But in fact, Li Yi was more careful than anyone else.

Li Yi nodded slightly. What he was thinking about now was not how to win the battle? Instead, he was thinking from Yuan Shao's perspective, how to make a comeback, and then remove possible hidden dangers little by little.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yi felt that he really had nothing to explain, so he put down those tiring things and asked, "Where is General Huang, is he still at the pier?"

Dian Wei stepped forward and replied: "General Huang is here, according to the usual practice? He won't leave until the afternoon? Are you going to invite him over?"

Li Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "It's nothing serious, I was just thinking, since Yuan Shao is on the opposite side, is he also looking at this side at this time, so I want to say hello to him."

"call?"

This time it was Bu Zhi who spoke out, because Lu Su was transferred to coordinate Li Yi's affairs, and Li Yi was a little short of manpower, so he transferred Bu Zhi to take over Lu Su's position temporarily.

This is also Li Yi's brother-in-law, who has priority for promotion.

Li Yi raised his hand with a smile, pointed at the soil slope on the side, and said: "Put my handsome flag there, and I will have a few drinks with you here later, tell me, Yuan Shao will meet you when he sees it." How do you feel?"

Everyone was speechless, thinking what Li Yi wanted to do, but it turned out to be such a bad taste, and they didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while.
